equally few including open red source
Only a few companies, including the open source vendor Red Hat, handles vulnerabilities in an equally responsible way.

create difficult months patches users

amount available certainly extremely given information limited number patches people serious vulnerable
It certainly is a serious threat, but given the amount of information available from Cisco you would think there would only be an extremely limited number of vulnerable systems. Most people should have patches in place before there are any exploits.
